AI isnโ€™t going to โ€œkillโ€ Shopify.
But it will compress its moat unless the company pivots faster and deeper than investors expect.

This isnโ€™t bearish.
Itโ€™s structural.
Every platform shift reshuffles the winners.
Shopifyโ€™s first S-curve was built on:

โ€“ storefront creation
โ€“ workflows + templates
โ€“ merchant tools
โ€“ payments + checkout
โ€“ logistics integrations

AI is turning many of these into commodities.

Instant stores.
Instant ads.
Instant SEO.
Instant emails.
Instant everything.

When creation becomes free, the value shifts.
Value migrates from tools โ†’ to distribution.

This is why TikTok Shop, Instagram, Temu, Shein, and even Amazon are leaning hard into AI-driven storefronts:

AI lets platforms collapse the entire seller journey into a single click.

Thatโ€™s real competition for Shopifyโ€™s core.

I want to make it clear, why I so often hark back to the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. There is a very powerful reason for doing his. I hadn't just become environmentally aware then. In fact, I'd become environmentally aware over 20 years earlier, and was 32, starting an ecology degree as a mature student.

In other words, I had a very clear impression of the time and the lead up to the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, because here, was the things I had passionately believed in for over 20 years, finally being addressed. It was a time of incredible optimism by the environmentally aware. Finally politicians were taking the ecological and climate crisis seriously, and were going to address the problem. Rather, it seemed that way at the time.
1/๐Ÿงต
I attended a seminar around the time I started university, a panel of leading scientists. The chair of the panel, Professor Alan Wellburn, then probably the leading expert on air pollution, opened by saying, now we know what the problem is, we can address it.

I was troubled by this, and had the temerity to stand up and challenge this narrative. I said most of this situation, was actually known at the time of the 1972 UN Environment Conference, and the only reason the 1992 Rio Earth Summit happened, was because in 1983, the UN was alarmed that no progress had been made on the agreed action plan, of the 1972 UN Environment conference, and they set up the Brundtland Commission.

Before, I go on, I want to make it clear what my real point is. THE BIG problem, is this sense of progress. So much so, that people, including those who should no better, insist that it is only recently, that humanity understood how serious the climate crisis is, and that somehow back in 1992, there was little understanding of our predicament. No one believes me, when I say people took the climate crisis, far more seriously than they take it now.

I have seen environmental journalists, state that until Al Gore's 2006 movie, An Inconvenient Truth, most of the public had never heard of the climate crisis. I have to pinch myself. It is possible that public awareness of the climate crisis, was greater in 1989, than it is now. Don't take my words for it.

"These authors presented findings from separately conducted national polls that showed that whereas in 1986 less than a half of respondents (between 39 and 45%) reported having heard or read anything about climate change, this proportion rose to around three-quarters (74%) of respondents by 1990."

That's right, by 1990, 74% of the public were aware of climate change, and public climate change denial, was almost unknown.

On May 2, 2014, 42 people died in a fire at the Odessa of Trade Unions House. Pootinโ€™s disinformation portrays the incident as an illustration of the alleged genocide of the Russian people in Ukraine,
@Beefeater_Fella @michaeldweiss 2).
as well as one of the justifications for a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In addition, Kremlin propaganda almost immediately began to compare this tragedy to the German crime in the Belarusian Khatyn (ะฅะฐั‚ั‹ะฝ) during World War II.

โ€žUnder the terms proposed by the US, Ukraine would have to withdraw troops from parts of the astern Donbas region that Russia has failed to fully occupy. The area would become a neutral demilitarized buffer zone internationally recognized as Russian.
2).
Moscow would also obtain de facto recognition over Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk. Most of the remainder of the frontline, including in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, would be effectively frozen.โ€

โ€žTop MAGA Influencers Accidentally Unmasked as Foreign Trolls

@elonmusk's social media site X has rolled out a new feature in an effort to increase transparencyโ€”and unwittingly revealed that many of the siteโ€™s top MAGA influencers are actually foreign actors.
@RadioFreeTom @thedailybeast @elonmusk 2).
The new ยปAbout This Accountยซ feature, which became available to X users on Friday, allows others to see where an account is based, when they joined the platform, how often they have changed their username, and how they downloaded the X app.
@RadioFreeTom @thedailybeast @elonmusk 3).
Upon rollout, rival factions began to inspect just where their online adversaries were really based on the combative social platformโ€”with dozens of major MAGA and right-wing influencer accounts revealed to be based overseas.โ€

๐Ÿšจ Powerless data centers and the real risk to $NVDA.๐Ÿงต

At the simplest level, Nvidiaโ€™s business model is selling shovels into the AI โ€œdata-center rush.โ€ Thatโ€™s a dangerous way to make a living when the grid canโ€™t actually power the facilities those โ€œshovels are meant to dig.โ€ Image
1. In Santa Clara, two data centers have become symbols of AIโ€™s new constraint: electricity, not chips.

If Santa Clara is the most visible example, AWSโ€™s fight with PacifiCorp in Oregon is the most explicit.

Texas has the Power, but it comes with BLACKOUT. Image
2. Datacenters that are currently grabbing land, draining water, is not running. And that is a HUGE problem for $NVDA, not now, but very very soon.

1/ I see a lot of bad analysis of DATs, or digital asset treasury companies. Specifically, I see a lot of bad takes on whether they should trade at, above, or below the value of the assets they hold (their so-called โ€œmNAVโ€).

Here's how I approach it.
2/ The first thing to do when evaluating a DAT is ask yourself: If this company had a fixed lifespan, what would it be worth?
3/ The value of this approach is obvious if you think in very short time frames. For instance: Imagine you had a bitcoin DAT that announced it was shutting down this afternoon and distributing its bitcoin to investors. It would trade at exactly at the value of its bitcoin (an mNAV of 1.0).
